does anyone recognize this ski?

does anyone know whose ski this is?


it looks like a 550 that they grafted a 300sx of a 650sx hood section onto.

Flash-FX shot that and posted it in our gallery a while back, it's from the 88-90 World Finals.

My guess is it's a Cobb's deck prior to the one they sold, but that's a couple years before I got into the sport. I have some friends from Guam, they would possibly know but I haven't talked to any of them recently.

SJ is right there...The first ski was from Guam. The one in the bottom picture was a Zephyer Custom CF, both were 550 based skis.

Hollywood Scott Watkins

I don't think that is Tim Judge, not sure who.

 

[Big Kahuna]

no, not Judge, he has blond hair. That is prob. someone with Jet Pilot. Think that was one of the shots from Jet Pilot ad or something. I have seen other shots of them in those same hideous outfits.

the dark days are the introduction of the couches.

.... those florescent shorts and skis were anything but 'dark'.

Actually.....those were the glory days! Except of course for the pink shorts. I still think fanny packs should make a come back. Either that or we need "man bags" to become socially acceptable for the straight male population.

I think a fanny pack would be a great way to carry tow ropes:biggrin:

 

[snowxr]

looking back, those Cobb skis may have had some influence on the Octane's design. Everything old is new again. Let us all pray that those hideous colors never return to our beaches.

 

[SUPERJET-113]

The Ripper in pink with a fag bag still owns Chuck Norris.

Ah,,, the good ol days when PWC racing was as popular as MX.

 

[restosud]

these were the best days for our sport.more people,more aftermarket,more skis more of everything.
definitely not the dark days.
as for the colors,hmmm well!
not sure but could be the jetpilot guy.can't remember his name.
